I’ve noticed this happens a lot at night. I’ll be sitting watching tv until I start feeling like I’m taking short and shallow breaths and so I start getting scared. I went to my room to lay down and it just comes and goes but it causes this weird feeling in my head like a pressure idk . And if I get up to stand I feel lightheaded ...
Sounds very much like anxiety. For me... Laying down is a bad idea... Because then I solk and it makes it worse. I like to go for a nice drive. Do you take sleeping aids?
Yeah it tends to happen a lot. And when I’m kaying down I tend to breathe faster and not deep enough and it makes the head pressure worse and it lasts hours.now I’m unabke to sleep .... my body starts tingling I get scared
I can absolutely relate a few months ago I was having panic attacks at night my anxiety still seems to be worse at night but yes I can relate to the night time panic attacks thank God I've semi gotten control over them.
Hey honey, how ya doing? Sounds like "good old" anxiety to me. The thing to do is to pay it no heed. I don't ever think that in all my years of suffering anxiety and panic attacks have I ever been able to go for a lay down during one! I have to distract myself by re-focusing my mind and thoughts. Only then, does it pass. Donna xxx
